Street Sweeping Schedule to Coordinate With Leaf & Limb Pickup

City staff has two internal street sweeper, which currently works with the disposal contractor Bertolotti Ceres Disposal to coordinate a Street Sweeping Schedule. As well as the residential and Limb Collection Schedule. Changes in the Leaf and Limb Collection are as follows:

Resident may set their leaves and limb piles in the street no more than seven days prior to their scheduled collection date. This will allow a week to place leave and limbs in the street, then allow a week to sweep the street before more leaves and limbs are put in the street.

The goal is to sweep residential streets two business days after the leaves and limbs are collected.

Please remember that grass clippings are not allowed to be placed in the street. Also, residents eligible to participate in the curbside Leaf and Limb Collection Program are those living in single family homes, duplexes, triplexes or fourplexes on one piece of property.
